7/III/25 - 75cl bottle @ post adventskalender-tasting tasting (Cies’ place), BB: n/a, bottled: IX/2023 (2025-257) Thanks for sharing the bottle!
Pretty clear deep purple beer, practically no head. Aroma: blackberries, black currants, dark cherries, very rich. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, pretty acidic start, very bitter, lots of blackberries and black currants, sourish, quite some tannins, earthy, dry and acidic. Aftertaste: acidic, bitter, lots of tannins, earthy, hoppy bitterness it seems, more acid. No vinegar though as I’ve had with other De Garde beers in the past.

Medium pink head, rather stable, over deep cardinal red beer. Vinous, old red wine, fruitwine, and -indeed- blackberries. Sour, lactic and fruitacids, red fruit & (black)berries (a lot of them). Old wine in the finish and -sorry- brocade. Lipsmacking acidity, fruitslickness, light to medium carbonation. Impressive beer, both velvety and sharp. Difficult to imagine it's only 6.3%.
